Everybody lives for a goal,a purpose that they strive to achieve,a perfection. What is our country striving to achieve? Dr.Abdul Kalam gave the nation a vision, a goal to reach. How much have we thought about it after he has left office.
Our Nation appears to be moving off track,appears to be loosing its purpose.Almost everything about India is distracting her from her main goal- to build a strong foundation for a strong nation.While there are a few who are working day and night to bring its attention back to the few important issues that would build the country, many dwell in the cream of the problem and have not reached its roots. Our country needs to prioritize.It needs to set aside a few issues that will be given attention not only for 5 years but permanently.Currently though, there is a lot of ambiguity in its prioritizing.
One of the recent events that caught my attention in this context, was the Tamil Nadu strike in support for the Tamils in Sri Lanka.I am not against it, but the way it has been carried out is bothersome.Firstly,it is not 'our' war and our country has a lot to deal with already.Secondly, being a supporter of any particular side is not wrong, but the expression of ones support must be constructive.
It is to education and environment that I would suggest the country's prime importance. These are non-controversial, country building issues that will shift our focus from cast, creed,gender, violence etc to make us see the bigger picture.The picture of building a country for us as its people and maintaining this earth for 'us' as a world.

good topic..
ReplyDeleteVery interlectual i must say, it is thought provoking to ua as Indians to take a stand and do something for the betterment of our country
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the Vision of Dr.Abdual Kalam. Come to think of it....our new president does not seem to have a particular dream for our country. When the leader lacks vision, that is bound to get reflected on the entire nation.
ReplyDeleteGreat vision of yours!!! The country needs a leader more than anything else.
ReplyDeleteDr Kalam was every bit a great visionary but he wasn't in the right chair. A president in our country is nothing more than a "rubber stamp".
We have no shortage of major issues to solve but what we lack is the will of governance to carry out solutions. Every leader born in politics wants self progress, then own family progress...so on. a country is too far away from his radar.
A change is needed in the system of election. I suggest to Give common man the right to recall non performing politicians for a start.
nice thought.people have to get as close to reality as possible.
ReplyDeletegreat topic...you said that the problems must be solved from the roots....so isn't problems related to caste,gender,creed,religion etc. all leadin to violence,among the problems in the basic foundation of the country?....so before we look at the bigger picture, don't you think we must come up with a solution for the basic?...then onlydo i think,would we be able to respond to great visions of great leaders...
ReplyDeletenice thought.....
ReplyDeleteyes but we are always lookin at only those problems and so we are never united in an attempt to solve any problem..that why we are distracted from real problem...
ReplyDeleteVery very thought provoking. Need of the hour I must say. All young people need a reminder often to SIT up and DO something. As a follow-up, I suggest you encapsulate the raging inferno cloaked under a broad head "India's Problems" and set it up within 3-4 points. It will help galvanise the youth to action. What do you think? As one of the torch bearers of OUR country. Think and let me know :-)
